Our Beloved

Oh that the foolish days be fulfilled
And that our heart may desire to obey
The voice of our God for all the days that remain
And all that remains is the eternity of our Lord
Lord grant the desire of our heart to serve
That we might serve the Lord in His glory
And the brethren of our Lord into glory
Performing the works of our Lord, for His glory

Oh that the days of wine and roses
Would be the new wine of our Lord
The Rose of Sharon, like a lily among thorns
The Peace of God that passes all understanding
The fruit of the Spirit, sweet to our taste
His banner of love is the Word of God, our Lord
The hand of the Lord is upon His people
The left holds our Head and His right the Body

Oh to be within His loving embrace
The Voice of our Lord, behold He comes
The time of singing has come unto His beloved
He watches us through the open window
The blessings of our Father flow to us like light
We are His people and He is our God in glory
Let us see His face and hear His voice
We are His flock among lilies, Our Beloved is ours
